Rovers will be looking to get back to winning ways when they face York on Friday night
Hull KR head coach Willie Peters
Willie Peters has made one change to his Hull KR squad this week as the Robins prepare for the visit of York Knights.
After falling short against Wakefield Trinity last weekend, Rovers will be looking to bounce back to winning ways on Friday night, but they certainly won’t be underestimating the Knights.
KR beat York convincingly in the Cup quarter-finals, but memories of their opening day defeat to Mark Applegarth’s side are still fresh in the minds of most and that could provide a little bit of added motivation this time around.
Sauaso Sue won’t be involved this week as the serves the one-game ban he picked up following his red card against Wakefield.
However, the Robins have been able to call on Dean Hadley once more. Hadley failed a HIA in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley last month and he missed the trip to Wakefield as a result.
However, it seems as though he has ticked all the boxes when it comes to return to play protocol and he has been named in the squad by Peters.
Tevita Pangai Jr has been named in the squad once again and he can expect to make his debut for the club this week.
The clash will be KR’s first on home soil since thrashing a young Wigan Warriors side 62-4 last month.
